Something to Look Forward To

By Joe

I realized this morning that I had almost forgotten to write a blog post for today. However, I do have a little bit of good news to share.

I’ve booked a five-night trip to Montreal for my birthday next month! I’ve been wanting to get back to Montreal for a while, and I decided that my birthday was as good an excuse as any.

I’m already looking forward to getting away for a few days, enjoying some good food, doing a little shopping, and hopefully having a wonderful birthday. I’m also hoping to find a nice winter coat while I’m there. I figure Canadians ought to know a thing or two about dressing for cold weather.

Sometimes, it’s nice just to have something to look forward to. I certainly do!

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
